Hi All,
I'm interested in applying to Haas. I intend to apply this fall in R1 through the Consortium. I would love if anyone could give insight into what chances you think I'd have of gaining admission, and perhaps even the Consortium fellowship?
Basic Stats:
27 year old male
University of Notre Dame Bachelor of Arts (2010)
Majored in Philosophy
3.08 Undergrad GPA
( Held a 3.5 GPA last two years. )
Earned two MA's: One in Liberal Arts (3.4 GPA at St. John's College), the other in Curriculum and Instruction (4.0 GPA at University of Mississippi)
GRE score: 165 V, 168 Q (both 95th percentile -- 760 GMAT equivalent)
Goals:
Target is to work in management consulting (ideally MBB) after MBA for the ~5 year term, then transition into social entrepreneurship (think venture capital for ed tech).
Other Background Info:
Taught 10th Grade English (3 years, it will be my 4th year while submitting applications). Did not do TFA, but did a similar program (Mississippi Teacher Corps) that is, by percent of applicants admitted, more competitive than TFA.
Showed increased responsibility by, after two years, being elected to train and manage new teachers for my MA program. Also, in my current school district, elected to a district-level leadership board for academics.
Outside work activities mostly have included helping out at the school. Coached multiple sports, tutored
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: URM (African-American and White)
Lived in USA my whole life

So for what it's worth, I don't think anyone is going to tell you not to apply. You're also going to apply either way, just make sure it's your best foot forward.
I think your story is a good one, but think about the why now question. Also, why mgmt consulting?
Also you should address the lower GPA (I have a lower GPA as well). I plan on addressing it by a high standardized test or also your recommendations, maybe have folks mention how intelligent you are, quick learning, etc.
But either way, a very solid profile, you just need a very cohesive story.

Thanks for sharing your profile. I think the Consortium is geared towards high potential diverse candidates like you. Particularly Haas that has historically had a difficult time attracting diverse candidates. Your GPA is low which is the obvious red flag on your resume but you have a very strong GRE score which should help convince the AdComm that you have the aptitude to compete in their program. The GMAT/GRE and the GPA is a balancing act the loWer one is the higher the other needs to be so your high score certainly helps in this regard.
I think your story will be the key aspect of your application you will need to connect the dots for admissions to help them understand why Haas is the ideal next step to reach your ST/LT goals. Bring them into your world and take your candidacy off the paper to optimize your chances here. If you can do this you should be in play at Haas.
Hope this helps!
